O Child Of Wonder Lyrics

[Chorus]
Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel.

1. O Child of wonder! Child of love!
Good Angels hasting from above,
Did guard Thee safe from Herod's hand,
And convoy Thee to Egypt's land. [Chorus]

2. To Egypt's land our Lord was brought
When Judah's King His life had sought
There God full soon a work had done,
And then from Egypt called His Son. [Chorus]

3. For what had Egypt known like this,
Marvel of Heliopolis --
When prostrate idols fell before
Christ coming to their temple floor. [Chorus]

4. But O what mightier deed is told,
When God, the Child of twelve years old,
To His own Temple's dread surprise
Cast down the wisdom of the wise? [Chorus]

5. O Child of Bethlehem! man's delight;
O Glorious Child of Egypt's flight;
O Child, Who in the Temple stood,
We praise Thee, Wisdom of our God!
